The lawyer to hire!!!

If I can give more stars I would! When debating which lawyer to choose, I came across Tom’s past reviews on how great he was and it’s true, words can’t describe how wonderful Tom was with me and my husband. It was a scary decision to file bankruptcy but Tom makes you feel very comfortable and he is ...very easy going. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything to you on the laws of bankruptcy. He doesn’t make you feel dumb and always makes you feel as if you’re his only client and gives you his undivided attention. He is your best bet in hiring a bankruptcy lawyer. Thanks again Tom!!!

Thomas Amberg

I was looking for an attorney to file a bankruptcy. I picked out several attorneys to call to see which one seemed the best. About the forth one I called was Tom. I immediately liked him. He was really nice and not intimidating or judgmental. He stayed on the phone with me and answered all my questi...ons. I decided to have him represent me before we were off that first phone call. He told me what to bring for the first appointment and I saw him later that week. I did not have to fill out any paperwork as he does it all electronically. On that first visit he asked me all the questions and got everything ready. Two days later I was back in his office to sign all the paperwork and I think it was filed that same day! PAINLESS! We got a court date about a month out. Tom met me early in court and went over everything with me. He suggested we go in the court room and sit in on a few cases so I would know what to expect. When it was my turn he sat with me while the trustee asked a few questions and before I knew it we were done. Throughout the whole process Tom kept in touch with me to let me know what was next. He gave me his cell so I could call or text him nights and weekends if I had any questions. If I left him a message he would call me back within minutes. So refreshing in today’s world! When I called the other attorneys I never got past the receptionist. If I had questions I had to make an appointment to have a consultation. When I called his office I spoke with him right then. I really cannot convey how happy I am with this attorney. He is a really nice person, reasonable in price and so easy to talk to. Please do yourself a favor and Call Tom Amberg at Amberg and Harvey!

Awesome Attorney & Human Being!

I found myself going through tough times when I lost my job in 2013 and ended up unemployed for over 17 months. Having to come to the realization that I was going to have to file for bankruptcy was a hard pill to swallow. When I finally made the decision I began my search for a bankruptcy attorney. I... was very apprehensive about finding one, until I found Tom. Tom had wonderful reviews online so I decided to give him a call. Even over the phone he made me instantly feel more comfortable about my decision to file, and so we set up an appointment to meet. After meeting with him that first day I just knew he was the attorney for me and hired him right then and there. Not only is Tom a top-notch bankruptcy attorney, he is also a wonderful person. He genuinely cares for his clients and is readily available almost anytime you need him. He explains everything clearly every step of the way and has a way of making you feel at ease with your decision to file. Thanks Tom for making that pill a lot easier to swallow. I would give 10 stars! I highly recommend Tom Amberg!
